summary

There are many patients will consider whether they want to choose surgical treatment because of the operation cost, because some reasons will make patients have patent ductus arteriosus, in this case, if they want to be healthy, they must have surgery. Let's talk about the operation cost of patent ductus arteriosus.

How much is the operation cost of patent ductus arteriosus

First, the ductus arteriosus was originally the normal blood flow channel between the pulmonary artery and the aorta during the fetal period. Due to the pulmonary respiratory dysfunction, the pulmonary artery blood from the right ventricle enters the descending aorta through the ductus arteriosus, while the blood from the left ventricle enters the ascending aorta, so the ductus arteriosus is necessary for the special circulation mode during the embryonic period. After birth, the lung swells and takes on the function of gas exchange. The pulmonary circulation and systemic circulation perform their respective functions. Soon after, the catheter is self closed due to disuse.

Second: if the continuous non closure and the formation of patent ductus arteriosus. Surgery should be performed to interrupt the blood flow. Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a common congenital cardiovascular malformation, accounting for 12% - 15% of the total number of congenital heart diseases. About 10% of the cases had other cardiovascular malformations. Heredity is the main internal cause, and any factor that affects the development of heart embryo may cause heart malformation.

Thirdly, the clinical manifestation of patent ductus arteriosus mainly depends on the amount of shunt blood from aorta to pulmonary artery, whether secondary pulmonary hypertension occurs and its degree. Mild may have no obvious symptoms, severe may have heart failure. The common symptoms are palpitation, shortness of breath, fatigue, respiratory tract infection and growth retardation. Late pulmonary hypertension is severe, and cyanosis of the lower body may occur when reverse shunt occurs.

matters needing attention

For patent ductus arteriosus surgery, it is a very common congenital cardiovascular malformation. If not treated in time, it will cause serious consequences to the later life of the fetus, and may also cause many other serious complications. Early treatment, the cost of surgery is not the most hindering factor.
